You Init it like this:

Code:

Water.images(*Images("Mtrl/Gfx/Water/0.gfx"),*Images("Mtrl/Gfx/Water/0.n.gfx"),Images("Mtrl/Gfx/Reflection/reflection.gfx")); // set water from textures

Water.wave_scale = 0.8;

Water.draw = true;

And update it after:

Code:

Water.update(Vec2(0.01,0.01));

Nothing there to add water? Xhizors just showed you the entire codeblock which is in that turorial.

You should know some C++ before you start of course. smile

you put this in your Init() function:

Code:

Water.images(*Images("Mtrl/Gfx/Water/0.gfx"),*Images("Mtrl/Gfx/Water/0.n.gfx"),Images("Mtrl/Gfx/Reflection/reflection.gfx")); // set water from textures

Water.wave_scale = 0.8;

Water.draw = true;

and this in your Main() function:

Code:

Water.update(Vec2(0.01,0.01));

this will add water to the whole scene.

EDIT:
and of cause using
Images("Mtrl/Gfx/Water/0.gfx")
is assuming that you have your IO path set to the data folder of your project... if not, you have to use the full path for the files...

hope it helped

In wich init function ?

and in wich data a Example?

craksy · 10-24-2009 02:03 PM

if you created a new project, your Main.cpp (or whatever it's called) should have this:

Code:

bool Init()

{

     ...

}

that the Init() function.

and your project folder should also include a Data folder containing all the resources for the game... you should set your IO path to this folder.

ok thanks ^^
1 question what means IO

Input/output... all file adresses start from your I/O path
say your IO path is "C:\documents and setting\Name\documents\project\data\"
when accessing a file instead of having:
"C:\documents and setting\Name\documents\project\data\gfx\water\0.gfx"
you could simply use:
"gfx\water\0.gfx"

I know the question is already answered but anyway
based on the original question it seems the guy wanted to add water via the World Editor. Not being able to do this seems weird but doable if you only have water as a sea (ie. all at the same level, infinite area).
then if you want to have water somewhere else like a small lake or a fountain (ie. different height level, a finite enclosed area) I guess that's what WaterArea is for (though it doesn't support mirrored reflections), but I haven't found any tutorial, info or even a thread on the forum about it.
So at least for smaller water areas (if that's what WaterAreas are for) it would be nice to be able to add them via the World Editor
